There is a fantasic amount of interesting history around Shakespeare, brothels, bear bating pits and pubs along this stretch of river. I recently downloaded an audio guide for my mp3 player from a website at www.podguides.co.uk. Really good intersting walk recorded by a proper Blue Badge guide.

A surgical museum with a huge collection of medical artefacts, including the pickled remains of unusual animals and humans - from the 7 feet 8 inch real skeleton of a giant from Ireland, to the digestive organs of exotic animals and pickled genitalia. Intriguing, but not for the fainthearted. It's housed upstairs from the Royal College of Surgeons, and not advertised from the outside, so remains something of a hidden treasure.
